Foreign Policy WASHINGTON HJB President Esenbover has taken his foreign to tne peop of the Sfcd-West just mm erects have shaken its foundations. Domestic policies on spending and taxes also may be affected Underground Gas Storage Scored By John L. Lewis WASHINGTON United Mxf President John L. Lfwis charged today That unrestricted un bv such hard facts as the Italian election returns, the political tration of France and the dispute on Far East policy among the free Manganese to Be erf allies. This dispute will come to a fast boil If and when a Korean truce is signed.

Observers differ whether developments in France or in Italy are the more damaging to the general wel- fare of the anti-Communist coalition of nations. France is richest of aU the allies of the United States in natural resources. But this needed and potentially powerful ally is unable to do its own political housekeeping. The splinter party system of poli--tics and ground rules which permit the Chamber of Deputies a large degree of irresponsibility combine to diminish the value and position of France as partner among western powers. After three weeks of futility, French politicians still are attempting to form a responsible government capable of facing and discussing unpleasant political real- ities- France is the European anchor state of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

He urged the state Lezislature to pass the Kent which sets up re-i strictions curbing the storage of na tural gas in pools near coal mines.

The measure, sponsored by Robert Kent, of Crawford County, is awaiting final passage in the State House of Representatives. Lewis that "rapacious natural gas interests" seek to store underground quantities of gas having more destructive energy than the atcmic or hydrogen bembs." "If this reserve of natural gas were to be exploded, it would cause more deaths and destruction of property than any catastrophe in the history of this nation," he said. Lewis said those interests storing the gas are "calloused and indifferent to the safety of the men who work underground" and are "in complete disregard of the lives ar.d property of all who resided in that re- s-uii Di me state. He said that coal mining "is haz- ardous enough without the additional danger of unregulated storage of na- tural gas contiguous to underground mining operations. In Pennsylvania, millions of cubic i feet of natural as have been stored I in underground reserve pools by pimping it back into depleted gas wells.

Advocates of the system contend that these huge storage pools are the only way they can accumulate sufficient reserve of gas to take care of expanding needs. Mining groups have sought regulation of the storage pools on grounds that the accumulation of gas in areas where coal is being mined consti tutes a major hazard to both miners and area residents. Three Families Routed In County Seat Blaze Three families were routed from their homes in Sunbury yesterday wnen fire, believed to have been caused by a short circuit, broke out in a grocery store. Total loss is $2,500. Efficient work of firemen prevented destruction of the two and one-half story frame building, which houses three families and the store.

The property is owned by William Holtzapple. Sunbury. and Victor E. Aucker. Shamokin Dam, partners in the grocery business.

Officers Installed by Shamokin Camera Club The Shamokin Camera Club last night held a meeting in the local Moose lodge rooms. Highlight of the get-together was installation of the following officers: Carl Bowers, president; Peter Patti, vice president; Norman Barnes, secretary; William Kramer, treasurer, and Stephen Koletar, sergeant-at-arms.

Removed From Slag Yith New Process FITTSTON U.R) A plant under construction here to recover manganese from open hearth slag may play a large part in relieving unem ployment in the hard-hit Anthracite region.

The plant, first of its kind in the country, is being built at a cost of approximately $3,000,000 by the Southwestern Engineering Company, of Los Angeles. It is expected to be completed and in operation by the end of the sum mer and will employ about 100 men initially. If successful, the pilot plant will be expanded and employment increased to at least 4,000 per sons. The pilot plant will be operated by the Mangaslag Company, whose largest investor is Sid Richardson, wealthy Fort Worth. oil man.

The government has agreed to purchase up to $1,000,000 of the recovered manganese. The American Iron and Steel In stitute said at New York that if the pilot plant is successful and the process economically feasible, up to half the manganese needs of the nation's steel industry may eventually be provided by the process, lessening dependence on imports. At present, the United States has only small amounts of metallurgical grade manganese ore. The institute said steel cannot be produced commercially without manganese and that about 13 pounds of the metal is used in production of a ton of steel. Much of the manganese is left in the slag.

The institute said the process, involving the treatment of slag in a blast furnace and then in a basic converter, "does not have any unusual technical difficulties, according to engineers. "The question now is whether the cost of the recovery process, as used on a large scale, outweighs the value of the material." President Sounds (Continued from Pas One) several back. He fished in his boots and used dry flies. Mr. Eisenhower tackled the mountain trout again today.

He gave up tentative plans to play golf at Lead, S. about 65 miles away and planned to concentrate instead on angling. The President's chat with the GOP state leaders last night had far more political earthiness in it than his afternoon address to the Young Republicans. Mr. Eisenhower conceded frankly that his "education in poll-tics has been short but very intense." He said he had learned in a relatively short period, however, the desirability of offering the American public an "impeccable" administration which would not, like the Democrats of the past, stick his bungling hands and long nose into everybody's business." He said he didn't want to be "alarmist." but that "creeping Socialism" had been spreading in the United States on the wings of "high sounding proposals" from the party out of power.

Italy is a weaker sister but a greater challenge to the policies of foreign aid which President Eis- enhower held over from the Tru man administration. Many years and more than after the United States undertook to foster Italian resis- tance to Communism, this week's left Italian friends of freedom in power by a thin, unstable margin.

For its money and efforts, the United States has kept Italy from Communist control, but by no margin sufficient to satisfy either the administration or the opponents of Eisenhower policies. The Italian election returns will tend to curtail foreign aid, if not this year, then in 1954. The French political merry-go-round will tend in the same direction. Meantime, United Nations Gen- eral Assembly President Lester B. Pearson, a good friend from neighboring Canada, has frankly warned the United States that its principal allies will not go along with Eisenhower policies in the Far East.

He 1 spoke yesterday at Cambridge, Mass. Pearson said this country might as well forget about defeating Com- munism in Asia, that Communism was in Asia to stay. He implied that the United States might as well get used to the idea. Tight Accord (Continued froro Fata cm) Wright Aeronautical Company, Pratt-Whitney Company, Timken Company and the Borg -Warner Corporation. Their members include majority of production employes "in the aircraft and agricultural implement industries.

The pact was an elaboration of a 1 i'no-ralding" agreement in effect since 1949 in which both unions pledged not to attempt to oust the other in plants where it has already won bargaining rights for the workers. The new terms provide for enforcement of this agreement and a provision to halt "propaganda" attacks on one another. "Any propaganda alleging or inferring Communism, racketeering, company unionism for the purpose of gaining organizational advantages" would be a violation of the pact. Other provisions called for respecting picket lines of the union on strike, agreement not to attempt to organize in a multiple-plant company where the other union has or-organized more than 50 per cent of the workers and "Joint economic action-' against employers wherever possible.
